Submitting for consideration and confirmation to the Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation, Gubernatorial Nominee, LANI EWART, for a term to expire 06-30-2029.

This bill (GM 506) is a procedural nomination submitted by Governor Green for confirmation by the Hawaii Senate. It formally proposes Lani Ewart for appointment to the Commission to Promote Uniform Legislation, with a term ending June 30, 2029. The bill does not change policy but requests the Senate's approval for this specific appointment to the commission. The commission's role involves advancing consistent legal standards across states, but this nomination itself only seeks confirmation of the nominee.
